years as a general manager of a major FBO in Carlsbad, CA. He is a retired U.S. Naval reserve
commander and a veteran pilot.

NBAA represents the aviation interests of more than 7,100 companies which own or operate
general aviation aircraft as an aid to the conduct of their business, or are involved with
business aviation. NBAA Member Companies earn annual revenues approaching $5 trillion —
a number that is about half the gross domestic product — and employ more than 19 million
people worldwide. The NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention is the world's largest display
